Many of its functions can be easily migrated to the cloud (to Azure AD), but there are some functions that cannot be covered by Azure AD and that MIM supports very well. This should come as no surprise as Azure AD is not an alternative &#8211; it is not trying to solve exactly the same problems, but rather a set of problems that overlap.  <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>MIM-Support<\/h2><p>MIM currently falls under the \u2018Fixed and Modern Lifecycle Policy\u2019. MIM therefore has the same Modern Lifecycle Policy for support as Azure AD &#8211; however, this is only available for Azure AD Premium customers. With the Modern Lifecycle Policy, there is no end date for MIM support, but support can be terminated with a notice period of 12 months. After that, various paid support options are available &#8211; from Microsoft or partners such as the Oxford Computer Group (OCG) &#8211; and in any case, your MIM solution will not suddenly stop working.   <\/p><p>In the meantime, Microsoft continues to release features in its cloud offerings that can replace MIM functionality (even if it is not yet a complete replacement). In addition, various Microsoft partners, such as the OCG, are working on complex solutions to extend MIM with additional functions, support the migration of MIM or even replace MIM completely. <\/p><p> <\/p><h2>MIM alternatives<\/h2><p>You have the following options until 2026:<\/p><ul><li>A complete replacement of MIM with Azure AD functionalities<\/li><li>Replace most MIM functions with Microsoft cloud functions and replace some remaining functions by selecting and implementing a tool (probably from a Microsoft-friendly provider).<\/li><li>Retention of MIM, as the required level of support can be provided, e.g. via OCG support<\/li><li>Migrate to another provider. The risks of switching to another IAM provider are discussed in detail in the original article <a href=\"https:\/\/oxfordcomputertraining.com\/resources\/the-future-of-mim\">(see here)<\/a> <\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><p>We would like to introduce you to a product that completely replaces the functionalities of the MIM portal, in detail<\/p><p> <\/p><h2>IDABUS<\/h2><p>Oxford Computer Group Germany (OCG DE) has developed some excellent enhancements to the MIM Portal over the years, including a better interface (data service), role management and reporting. IDABUS, a subsidiary of OCG DE, is a cloud-based solution that can do everything the MIM Portal can do and much more (except for things that are obviously better done by Azure AD, like SSPR). <\/p><p>IDABUS is fully Azure-based (no local servers required) and uses a subscription model (an on-premises version is planned for high-security environments or customers without a cloud connection).
